2. Snake, pinyin: shé. The ancient word for it is poisonous insect. From insects from it. It was originally a long worm, and later added worm on the left side to become a common word. The ancient grass dwellers suffer from it, so they ask each other, "Is there nothing else?" - "Shuowen"
I understand, follow the insect, follow it. The original meaning of "it" is "parading snake". "Chong" refers to "small reptiles", and "worm" combined with "it" means "worms that swim with their tails wagging". Original meaning: an insect that swims with its tail wagging.
3. Snakes belong to the suborder Snakes of the order Squamata of the class Reptiles. There are also other names such as snake, anaconda, tango, anaconda, beetle, and grasshopper. Depending on the species, there are also synonymous names such as viper, anaconda, python, and viper. They belong to the order Squamata. The body is slender, the limbs are degenerated, and the body surface is covered with scales. Although the snake is slender, it is a vertebrate. Most are terrestrial, but some are semi-arboreal, semi-aquatic and aquatic. They are distributed throughout the world except Antarctica and islands such as New Zealand and Ireland. Feed on rats, frogs, insects, etc.
Snakes, belonging to the class Reptiles and suborder Snakes, are true terrestrial vertebrates. Venomous snakes are scary, but they are not that dangerous as long as you pay attention. Snakes mainly eat rats (they also eat frogs, birds, etc.). Snakes are inconspicuous in appearance, with strange shapes and colors, covered in scales, with high heads and necks, swinging bodies and tails, fast movement, hooting calls, and transitional swimming. Hard to be lovable. Snakes like to live in environments that are shaded, moist, inaccessible, overgrown with weeds, luxuriant trees, with tree holes or piles of rocks, firewood piles, haystacks, ancient earthen walls, and rich food. These are the habitats for them. Places where snakes live, haunt, and breed. Some snakes also live in water.
They live in tomb caves. Thick and granular feces can be seen at the entrance of the cave, so we can know whether there are snakes in the cave. Snakes have the habit of hibernating. In winter, they sleep in their holes for several months without eating or drinking, staying motionless to maintain their strength. When the weather is nice and sunny, I will occasionally come out to bask in the sun and sometimes eat. When spring comes, the snake wakes up, goes out to look for food, and takes off its original coat. When the snake sheds its skin, a fluid is secreted between the old and new skin, which helps the snake shed its skin. From the diameter and length of the snake's coat, the weight of the snake can be measured and even the name of the snake can be determined. Soon after the snake sheds its skin, its activity level increases, its foraging volume increases, and its body condition gradually recovers. As the temperature gradually rises, it enters the estrus period from late April to early to mid-May. When looking for a mate, male and female snakes emit clear and bright chirping sounds, like the sound of hitting rocks.
The egg-laying period of snakes is generally from late April to early to mid-June, depending on the species. The eggs produced by snakes are usually cemented into a large egg mass, and the number of eggs in the egg mass ranges from 8 to 15. Snakes are often hungry or semi-starved. They usually hunt by "waiting for rabbits", but sometimes they also take the initiative. The author once witnessed a green bamboo snake chasing a frog by the river. The frog jumped into the river, and the snake also jumped into the river, just like two divers in tandem. I have also seen snakes preying on bird eggs. It quietly climbed up the wall near the eaves, swam to the house swallow's nest, and kept sticking out its tongue, frightening the parent birds away. When the snake discovers the egg, it attacks and entangles it first. After it is safe, it opens its mouth and swallows the egg. Don't think that its mouth is small. In fact, it can swallow food that is 8 to 10 times the size of its own head. After the snake has eaten enough food, it feels tired and enters a resting state. At this time, it is easy to be caught. As for the number of times a snake feeds, it varies depending on the species and size of the snake. Generally, during the peak period of summer foraging activities, especially during the spawning and breeding period, the feeding time is once a day or every other day. Snakes that are slightly larger usually eat once every three days to a week due to their large amount of food. Snakes also like to sunbathe in the sun, usually around 10 to 12 am. When sunbathing, they usually lie down on the ground in the grass or wrap themselves around tree trunks. There are also cases where half of the body is exposed outside the entrance of the cave or curled up outside the pile of stones, with various postures. The activity patterns of snakes are mostly daytime and nighttime, which vary depending on the species.
The digestive system of snakes is very powerful. Some snakes will start digesting while swallowing, and they will spit out the bones.
Also, snakes have to crawl on the ground for digestion, using their belly to rub against uneven ground.
The venom of poisonous snakes is actually the digestive juice of the snake. The digestive juice of some snakes has strong digestive ability and dissolves the body of the bitten animal, so it shows "toxicity". Human bile also falls into this category. digestive juices. But more are neurotoxins and muscle toxins.
Snakes have a strong appetite and a large appetite. They usually bite them to death first and then swallow them. The mouth can change according to the size of the food. When encountering larger food, the lower jaw shortens and widens, forming a thin film that tightly wraps the food. Snakes often start swallowing animals from the head, and swallowing small birds from the top of the head. In this way, the bird's beak bends toward the bird's neck and does not sting the snake's mouth or esophagus. The swallowing speed is related to the size of the food. Snakes can swallow a small white mouse in 5 to 6 minutes, while larger birds need 15 to 18 minutes. Barton believes that African rock pythons only begin to eat when they determine the position of the snout or ears of their prey. Vipers also have the ability to judge the head and tail of prey.
Snakes digest food very slowly, and it takes 5 to 6 days to complete each meal. However, the peak of digestion is usually 22 to 50 hours after eating. If you eat more, digestion will take longer. The digestion speed of snakes is related to the external temperature. Skoczylas (1970) observed that at a temperature of 5°C, the digestion of colubrid snakes completely stopped. At 15°C, digestion was still very slow. The digestion process lasted about 6 days. At 25°C, Digestion is accelerated.
Snake teeth cannot bite food into pieces. The snake's digestive system, such as the pharynx, and the corresponding muscle system have great expansion and contraction capabilities.
